Fox Corp., the company that will remain after Walt Disney Co. (DIS) buys the majority of 21st Century Fox Inc.'s (FOX) media assets, will be part of the S&P 500.

S&P Dow Jones Indices said a company to be named later will take the S&P 100 spot now held by 21st Century Fox.

Dow Jones Newswires parent News Corp (NWS) and 21st Century Fox share common ownership.

Meanwhile, Caesars Entertainment Corp. (CZR) will join the S&P MidCap 400 index, and Dril-Quip Inc. (DRQ) is moving from that index to the SmallCap 600, effective Feb. 4.

Caesars shares were up 3.8% after hours at $8.94. Dril-Quip was flat at $36.06.
